Running costs could actually be quite low, for the non-Mezger 996 car's the biggest concerns would be limited to the IMS failure or D-chunk cylinder failure.. ultimately if it happens it happens.
Otherwise you wouldn't really feel as though it costs anymore than a run of the mill BMW/Benz etc. Yeah the little knick knacks would add up quick (failing non-essential electronics) but Porsches are known for being fairly rock solid and reliable.
It would be just as/if not more reliable than any other German/Japanese car IMO.
